THE LEGENDS OF THE JEWS

BY LOUIS GINZBERG

[1909]

TRANSLATED FROM THE GERMAN MANUSCRIPT

This is a massive collation of the Haggada--the traditions which have grown up surrounding the Biblical narrative.

These stories and bits of layered detail are scattered throughout the Talmud and the Midrash, and other sources, including oral. In the 19th century Ginzberg undertook the task of arranging the Haggada into chronological order, and this series of volumes was the result.
